Dani Rovira and Emilio Aragón cherish quiet hometown havens in Spain

Actor Dani Rovira, known for his work on TVE and films such as “Ocho apellidos vascos,” regularly retreats to Almargen, a small municipality of about 1,800 residents on the border of Málaga, Seville and Cádiz. The town features a Roman necropolis, archaeological sites and natural springs with medicinal waters that the actor describes as his “emotional kilometre zero.”

Comedian, actor and producer Emilio Aragón has spent more than two decades using the Mallorcan town of Pollença, home to roughly 17,800 people, as his family sanctuary. The village, set against the Serra de Tramuntana, boasts a Roman bridge, numerous cultural assets and a historic town centre where Aragón and his family enjoy a low‑key lifestyle away from Madrid’s spotlight.

Both celebrities highlight the appeal of these quiet, heritage‑rich locales as personal refuges that contrast with their public careers.
